Traude, I agree. Actually I believe the tired industrial model of the so called "nation state" is breaking down. Corporate globalsim and predatory capitalism are trying to prop them up as fronts for the old power play. Problem is, those facades are becoming increasingly transparent in the very post modern condition created by globalism.
